  "account": "Arvid Lindblad and Liam Lawson have been chosen to continue as the drivers for Racing Bulls, Red Bull's second team, for the 2027 season. The decision to retain both drivers was made despite a previous Red Bull policy of promoting drivers who did not succeed quickly. Team principal Alan Permane expressed confidence in the driver line-up, stating that it brings a strong combination of experience and ambition. Both Lindblad and Lawson have shown their abilities and potential throughout the season, leading to the team's fifth-place finish in the constructors championship. Lawson, 24, had previously struggled but has shown improvement, while Lindblad, 19, made his debut this season and has excelled at times. The retention of both drivers marks a departure from Red Bull's previous strategy of promoting drivers who showed promise. Tsolov, who has been a front-runner in Formula 2, will continue in a reserve role, providing experience through simulator work and testing. Both drivers expressed excitement for the upcoming season and the opportunity to build on their progress together.",
